There is a plethora of notebook and paper alternatives for those who prefer to use a fountain pen, but what do you do when you want to write a letter? Many of our go-to documents are already conveniently available in book form, and few of us would want to waste time ripping pages out of a notebook simply to jot down a few words. You might as well be in another world if you spend any time perusing notepads. Although many of the paper brands are recognizable, the papers themselves are quite diverse. In this piece, I'll give you my two cents on a wide variety of letter-writing sheets and share my thoughts on which ones are best.

Multiple Choices for Letter Paper

Letter writing paper, like notebooks, comes in a wide variety of styles and sizes. Sticky notepads and perforated pads are both available.

In addition, I will explain why I think you should think about each paper. Here are my evaluations on each, and at the end of the piece I'll offer my suggestions (listed alphabetically).
